    Summary

    “C’mon now, up you get Astarion, our Uber's here!”

    When both doors to the backseat of his car were opened, Gale caught the undeniable smell of tequila and was reminded of a terrifying scene in a film he saw as a child, the scene where an inebriated stranger hijacks the backseat of a car and strangles the driver to death with their belt. He knew that wasn’t real or likely to happen at all, but that didn’t change the fact that someone was going to enter his bloody car - someone so drunk that they did not realise that he was in fact, not their Uber.

    “Oh, um, I think you have the wrong –”

    (Perhaps it is no wonder that Astarion and Halsin have been in running circles around the track of Gale’s mind. Or, perhaps Gale is just gay and unlucky.)

    Summary

    When someone writes upon their own skin, that writing is copied onto their soulmate, if they have one. No other marks are copied. Astarion had feared not having a soulmate, then feared having one, then feared never meeting them.

    Gale just wants his soulmate to write back to him.

    Summary

    Humans can go weeks without food. As long as they have access to water, some can even last months without biting into a hamburger or tasting the sweetness of strawberry jam on a biscuit hot out of the oven. There are drawbacks, of course, to skipping meals. Dizziness, fainting, weight loss too quick for the body to adapt to.

    It’s Astarion's first table of the day. The dull, slow thump of his heartbeat rushes past his ears. His knees buckle with every step. He’s falling apart, he knows this, but with ten cents in the bank and another few days to wait until his paycheck comes in, all Astarion can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and hope he doesn’t collapse. There’s no time to think about the metaphorical hand tightening around his stomach and throat.

    Summary

    The Balduran Research Group is a private institution that seeks to protect all entities with special abilities ranging from extrasensory perception to conjuring fire with one's mind.

     

    When Astarion finally escapes the clutches of his adoptive father, he's brought right back to a new form of captivity. The sprawling forest of the Basilisk Gate Research Facility might give the illusion that he has many freedoms, but Astarion knows better. They are all hostages and they need to escape.

    Summary

    Astarion is so used to being used by everyone around him he can't figure out this new member of their merry band of weirdos wants. The druid is helpful, almost too helpful, but doesn't seem to just want to sleep with him. He isn't used to having someone stir up real feelings in him and he can't decide if he likes it.

    All he is sure of is that he has become addicted to the taste of the man's blood, and is becoming addicted to the man himself.

    ----

    “Good night Astarion.” The man rumbled. “May your trance be peaceful.”

    Astarion blinked, then blinked again. That was impossible. No one turned him down, well except Tav but Tav was special. He could smell the alpha’s arousal. The man wanted him. But was already reaching for the tent flap to eject Astarion like a drunken mistake.

    He blamed what he did next on his post feeding drunkenness and his desperate need to find familiar ground with the man.

    He darted forward and kissed the man. Halsin froze, his hand halfway to the tent flap. Astarion had managed to surprise him, he had reasserted dominance.

    He pulled away.

    “Goodnight, lover.” He drawled.

    The flush on Halsin’s cheeks made the whole strange encounter worth it.

    Summary

    Astarion is trying to get back into the BDSM scene after Cazador is put away for abuse. He doesn't think there's a dom in Baldur's Gate who will want to play with him, but luckily there's a new one in town.

    Gale has just moved to Baldur's Gate from Waterdeep after breaking up with Mystra. He doesn't think that there's a sub out there who would want a dom as soft as he is, but luckily one just got back into the scene.

    Summary

    Something is sniffing him: cold, loud, ragged breaths dragging through his hair, his neck, his clothes.

    “Please, whatever you are. Help me, I beg you.”

    Summary:
    What could end a millenia of solitude but a half-frozen wizard?
    What could fix a broken, betrayed heart but a huge, bizzare creature?
    It's possible that the direst of circumstances may lead Gale exactly where he needs to be.

    Summary

    A Yuletide gift for my co-writer of "Honey Don't Feed Me" (HDFM), Star.

    -----------------------------------

    Astarion is the only Alpha who has been to TAV (Targeted Abuse Victims), a group therapy that mostly deals with Omegas. As an "out" vampire, the staff know he's been a part of the group therapy sessions for over 200 years now, he's dependable and calm as far as Alpha's go. Always wearing heavy scent blockers, and speaking softly and infrequently to avoid startling the Omegas. But when a new Omega named Gale joins the group, he becomes the first in over 200 years to catch the Alpha's eye. Unfortunately, a little heat mishap leads them both into having to navigate a new relationship while also fighting a legal battle. Good thing Astarion's a lawyer.

    “I’m sorry to do this to you, my friend,” Gale says earnestly. “It’s the only way to help. Just a few more minutes and then I’ll give you the potion, and then this will all be over. When you wake up, you’ll be better, I swear it.”

    Summary

    The love of Astarion's life has disappeared to go live in the daylight with the druids, and Astarion is stuck in the darkness once more, yearning for sunlight with every fibre of his being, while bitterly reflecting on all the things that were denied to him in the end - love, sunlight, the option to kill thousands of people and become a near-god...

    Raphael knows Astarion's desperate, and comes to him with not one, but two horrid contract offers that Astarion loathes and dreads in equal measure - but the prize at the end of both are too good to turn down, and he's become too cynical to care about how much of a good idea it is to give his body to a devil for a month or two, because really, comparatively, how bad could it be?

    Summary

    Gale feels lost and adrift after they defeat the Absolute. Everyone has gone on with their lives. Everyone but him. He blames loneliness on calling the incubus's name. It was a foolish thing to do, incubi names have power and he had only met them for a few short minutes while stealing the Orphic Hammer. To be fair, he thought they were dead. And seeing as he had been one of the people to kill them, it was not surprising that seeing them appear in front shocked him.

    By the fourth time he summoned them he started running out of reasons. He just wanted to feel wanted, and he knew he could. As long as he kept his budding feelings to himself.

    Summary

    They beat the Netherbrain, they escaped death. Astarion had survived. And more importantly, he was finally free and had his family. Everything was perfect, he had Halsin and their twins. It should have been his happily ever after.

    Then Zariel showed up and Astarion was left having to save Halsin this time around. And he is going to need some infernal assistance.

    ------

    “Deal.” Halsin said.

    Astarion felt the ground beneath his feet shift as the portal opened. He tried to step away from it, but Hope was still gripping his arm. He growled and shook the grip off. Handing the pups to her. He moved towards Halsin. Vines slid through the portal and grabbed him.
    He snarled and tried to fight them.

    “Halsin!” He cried.

    When the druid turned to him his eyes were wrong. There was an inky blackness creeping into them. The alpha grimaced and raised his hand.
    The vines tugged and Astarion was pulled backward.

    Gale Dekarios has been having a small issue.

    That is, if you can call 'forgetting almost all thirty-four years of your life before you fell from your lover's grace and exiled yourself away in your tower,' a small issue.

    To make it worse, he's started to hear a voice in his head that isn't his own.

    Summary

    Halsin doesn't really need to see what's happening in that storeroom to know what's going on. The two had snuck out to have fun, which they couldn't have with the room above's layout.
    He in fact, doesn't need to go look, at all.

    …But there's a curiosity in him that burns in his chest, spreading warmth into his face.
    It'd been a moment since he'd been intimate with anyone- much less heard any talk of it from the party he adventured with. The fact that Gale and Astarion, two men who had seemingly done nothing but bicker any time they were paired together, were sneaking off with each other in the middle of the night gave Halsin a great curiosity indeed.

    So he stands from his chair and carefully makes his way to the storeroom. Making sure to bump into no one, to make as little as noise as possible- hoping that no one would notice him walking to the storeroom as well.
    Just a glance, he tells himself.
    Only for a moment, then I'll leave them to themselves.

    A collection of fragments in time from Halsin's years spent with Gale and Astarion.
